In February 2024, we informed you about an upcoming fan remake of Fallout 2 in the Creation Engine. And a few days ago, the team behind this remake shared a comparison video between it and the game’s original 1998 version.

Codenamed Fallout 4: Project Arroyo, this fan remake of Fallout 2 is in a really early development. Still, it looks like the modders were able to stay really close to the environments of the original title.

Personally, I like everything I see here. Yes, the Creation Engine and Fallout 4 are old by today’s standards. For instance, it would benefit from higher-quality terrain textures and a more advanced lighting system. Still, for a fan project, it looks really cool.

There is currently no ETA on when this Fallout 2 Remake will come out. Realistically, I don’t expect this to come out this or next year. We are most likely looking at a 2026 release date (at best). Nevertheless, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.

Speaking of Fallout 4, we also suggest checking out the following DLC-sized mods for it. Fallout New Vegas Remake in Fallout 4 is an unreleased mod that we’re really looking forward to. Then we have Fallout: Miami. America Rising 2 is another DLC-sized mod that integrated the Enclave faction into the main story with 24 main quests. Caves Of The Commonwealth is another fan expansion that adds 2-5 hours of new gameplay content. Let’s also not forget Fallout London which will be released on April 23rd. You can also download Sim Settlements 2 – Chapter 3, Whispering Hills which is a cool Silent Hill mod, and The Wilderness Mod. You can also download a new horror quest mod that is inspired by Lovecraft, Resident Evil and Dead Space.

Before closing, here are some other mods for Fallout 4. For instance, there is a LOD mod that reduces distant objects/shadows/textures pop-ins. Then we have the Disk Cache Enabler Mod. There’s also a mod that adds ragdoll physics and collisions to dead bodies. Another amazing mod is this one that fixes the game’s long loading times. DirectHit is a mod that overhauls the AI of enemies. And let’s not forget this mod that adds real locational damage to all enemies. You can also download an 8K Texture Pack, or this 41GB 4K Texture Pack which optimizes all 40,962 textures. Finally, there is a mod that adds support for NVIDIA DLSS 2, AMD FSR 2 and Intel XeSS. Oh, and there’s a mod that adds AMD FSR 3.0 Frame Generation to the game.

Have fun!
